I tried almost everything raid 0 1 5 10 with all kind of stripes
32/64/128 and settings direct io/cached/read-ahead/wt/wb/disk-cache but
nothing seems to work.
I changed the card to another dell perc 5 which had an older firmware.
Tried 4 kind of motherboards even tried changing the os to linux and
windows xp/7. In windows I got some funny results 1.3MB/s with
write-back and 150MB/s reads with 5 disks in raid0.
I just wanted to have a hw raid with no problems since the motherboard
88sx7042 and bsd did not like eachother.

Hi,
I've bought a Dell Perc 5/i because I couldn't make the onboard marvell
88sx7042 work with 8.0/8.1 or current, but as lucky as I am, the best I
can do with 4x1.5tb samsung in raid5 is 60MB/s writes and 90MB/s reads,
with bbu/write-back/adaptive-read-ahead.
I was expecting at least twice of that, and I'm not sure what can I do
to get that speed. (I've read man 7 tuning with no success)
As far as I know this controller should be as fast as on other systems.
(Freebsd.org mx1 has one of these cards.)
I'm hoping somebody on the list reads this and helps because I can't
afford to buy another card.
I've lost track of what actual boards Dell has OEMized to make the
various PERCs, but if I remember somewhat correctly, the PERC5 is
basically an LSI Megaraid SAS 8308elp with different labels and firmware?
If so, I've got that exact controller (minus the dell labels and
firmware) in my primary storage box here, and yes, you SHOULD be able to
get more performance out of it. What's your strip sizes and logical disk
layout?
(I've got the same board running on 8x 1T5 Seagates in RAID5+0, and that
setup easily pulls 5 times the values you're seeing, and by all logic
you should see about half of what I'm seeing)
